Energy CM9 ICS ROM for Rooted Kindle Fire! [SUPER FAST]

Posted onMay 11, 2012byadmin

With a ton of new ICS ROMs like this Energy CM9 ICS ROM, it makes the Kindle Fire the best ICS tablet your money can buy right now at this moment. The Energy CM9 ICS ROM is another great ICS ROM that can be overclocked to 1.2Ghz, and I notice a “super fast” lag-free experience on this ROM.

I installed this and love it! I need to find out who’s responsible as I’d love to donate. The idea that this stuff comes out to public for free is mind-blowing. After dealing with the stock kindle fire, and even the rooted with GoLauncher, it was so slow and always seemed to get bogged down. Now it’s sweet!!! Thanks for your instructions. I’ll be honest; I was scared big time. I finally decided to man up and boy am I glad!

You’re tablet should be charging. I’ve read somewhere that there was a problem with the charging icon not showing that the device was changing while plugged in, but it is in fact charging. That’s from what I understand. Now, if your tablet really is not charging, you might want to look into buying a new charger or testing your current charger.

Hello, I’ve replied to another comment similar to yours. Here’s what I said.

Try leaving the screen on all day with the kindle on the charger. If the kindle is still on after 8 to 10 hours, then it is charging. A lot of people say that their kindle is not charging because the charging icon does not work. If it is not charging flash back to stock, and try the “Intersect Raven” kernel if you are addicted to the speed boost.

Got the energy 4.0 rom to work on my rooted kindle fire.
The problem Im having is when I hit the shutdown tab after holding in the power button,I get a shutdown in progress message and the screen goes off,but I still see the backlight on and then it doesnt boot back up with subsequent presses of the power button.

Are there any ROMS out for the Kindle Fire that don’t use Hash’s kernel, I’m so sick of the backlight issue. Can you flash a new kernel on this ROM? Please someone fix this shit! Or tell me how to fix it myself please!?

Thanks a lot. I flashed this ROm on my Kindle and it is awesome! Almost perfect. After using it few days in a row I can give short resume.
1) Device is charging sespite it may not show in the notif. area or burning the button light. Actually sometimes it manages to show that device is charging. And sometimes not. I couldn’t find when and why. Charges in about 4 hours from 0 to 100%.
2) Sometimes one ot other app notifies that it stopped working. Happened few times with the Play store. But that’s not a problem at all.
3) I’ve read few complaints on the net that few users had problem connecting kindle to the PC. I had no issues with my mac though. Plug it to the computer, hit notification on the Kinle and choose mounting usb in the subsequent window.
4) Device never froze, never had problems restarting it or getting of sleep.
5) Battery lasts pretty good, at least 4-5 hours of use (games, movies, internet browsing). Pretty much the same as with the stock ROM.
5) UI is blazing fast, I am more than satisfied.

im having issues watching anything from youtube, the app that is stock (asks me if i wanna watch it from a youtube app, or the stock browser, or chrome, none of them work, on chrome i get rerouted to some other site…….

Thank you, Love the ROM. Small issue. I have three KF in my house, all rooted with your rom running it. All have the same MAC address. How can I change the MAC address . Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have this rom as well, I think i am having the same issue with the charging. I am noticing that on the notifier bar and the orange light not being on. And i am not noticing that the battery meter isnt looking any differnt. If i turn it off and then plug into charger, it boots the kindle. But i am going to keep it on the charger to see. Any work around?

Edit: to my previous post. My kindle is charging. Doesn’t display on the Notifier bar nor does the orange light on the power button light up to alert u that its charging..
I just went under settings and changed the battery status to show percentage. And it has been charging.

Same problem but it resolved itself. Plug into wall outlet and leave for about 10 minutes. Next alternate plugging and unplugging from wall about 10 sec each. light should turn green or orange once you plug in. Then just leave plugged in and wait for boot sequence to finish

This ROM is awesome, so awesome in fact that I installed it on a 2nd kindle fire we have in our household. After doing this I found that the network connection had become very unstable on both fires and after further investigation, i found that both fires have the same MAC address and IP address !!

How do I resolve this.
As things stand now, we can only have one kindle fire connected to wifi at a time.

Hello,
I just flashed my kindle fire with the updated version of the ROM but my pc doesnt recognize my kindle as an SD card, and when i turn my fire on it will not start loading, i need to hard reset couple of times before i get it to work, Did anyone know whats happening?

You need to go into the developer options and give both apps and ADB root access. Then services such as the Kindle Fire Utility, and SD card access should resume once again. (Don’t worry, apps will still need to ask for your permission to use root, using SuperUser.)

Overall this ROM works great. I have only experienced an issue that images are displayed 90% off. When I hold the fire in landscape mode images are displayed in portrait. When the fire is in portrait mode image are displayed in landscape. I have had the same issue with other CM9 ROMS. I did not have the issue with CM7 ROMS.

Beware everyone, the download link in this article is old. Please use this link instead. That has a link to the 4.29.2012 build, and this link I will provide has the 7.31.2012 build. the 7.31.2012 build pretty much solves EVERY issue mentioned in all the comments here, such as screen brightness, not being able to be adjusted, Battery charge light, and CPU speed governor settings (You can now change them from performance if you wanted! This new version also had double the choices of speed governors.)

Fantastic! But I can’t seem to mount the SD card after installing. Makes it very hard to use for me, iv’e been emailing myself files, and uploading big ones to my schools server, to download on the fire. Wont mount on Linux or Win7. Giving CM10 a try.

Hi admin, i found this post on 12 spot in google’s search results.
I’m sure that your low rankings are caused by hi bounce rate.
This is very important ranking factor. One of the
biggest reason for high bounce rate is due to visitors hitting the back button. The higher
your bounce rate the further down the search results your posts and pages will end up, so having reasonably low bounce rate is important for increasing your rankings naturally.

There is very useful wp plugin which can help you. Just search in google for:
